It\u2019s been something of an unexpected path to stardom for Anya Taylor-Joy<\/a>, but it didn\u2019t take fans long once she began her career to notice her almost unlimited potential. She truly arrived as a star of her own in the 2020 Netflix<\/a> original series, The Queen\u2019s Gambit, which exploded during the COVID-19 pandemic and also earned her an Emmy nod for her commanding performance. Before she ever starred in the hit Netflix miniseries, though, she teamed up with James McAvoy<\/a> for a pair of M. Night Shyamalan thrillers, but now she\u2019s become a forceful leading star in some of the biggest blockbusters in the world. Back in 2024, she starred opposite Marvel<\/a> icon Chris Hemsworth<\/a> for the critically acclaimed Mad Max prequel, Furiosa, and she also featured with Miles Teller<\/a> in the Apple TV sci-fi adventure, The Gorge.<\/p>\n

The highest-grossing movie of Anya Taylor-Joy\u2019s career is The Super Mario Bros. Movie<\/a>, the hit video game adaptation that scored over $1.3 billion at the box office. Taylor-Joy voices the famous Princess Peach in the film, and it\u2019s hard to deny that her voice performance is part of why it found so much success. With Mario grossing $1.36 billion globally against a $100 million budget, Nintendo had no choice but to greenlight a sequel, which is bringing back Taylor-Joy and Chris Pratt<\/a>, while also adding new stars like Donald Glover<\/a> as Yoshi. It\u2019s been almost two years since an Anya Taylor-Joy movie was on the big screen \u2014 Furiosa in summer 2024 was the last \u2014 but she\u2019s set to return soon with The Super Mario Galaxy Movie<\/a>, which premieres on April 1, as a direct sequel to the 2023 film.<\/p>\n
